 this is one of the cleaner ones. They are actually following protocol. They have to recycle the water now by government. 70 tanneries were shuttered down by the government, but it is one of the most toxic places I've ever been in my life. This was like walking into a bottle of ammonia. My nose almost exploded when I walked in here. I mean, they are basically bathing
